Nurnberg? I have a similar drawing I bought in Germany in the early 90s of Rothenberg ob de Tauber. I'll see if I can find it.

I don't know who did it but the word next to Nurnberg is Wehrgang. It refers to the defensive corridors at the top of the perimeter walls of a Castle, monastery or fort, which is what your print depicts.

Maybe Linnus or Linus

DCMatt would be a good one to ask about this. Agreed on the "Nuremburg - Wehrgang" but can't decipher the signature. Could be an L or H, I think the second letter is a ü.

Here is another etching circa 1930. You can see one artist or the other took some "artistic license" in making the sketch.
